AUTUMN SUN!

Not been enjoying the garden lately (upper back problem), but the sun came out today and so did my camera. The last few days have been ‘dirty’ days, the kind when everything looks damp and dull, so today came as a nice spirit lifting surprise:)

Sisyrinchium flowering now

This hydrangea hasn’t flowered, but at least the leaves are looking pretty

This one flowered beautifully.

H. Redstone Falls still looking lovely. I know I go on about it, but it is special I think. This is it’s first year so I’ll see how it overwinters.

Honeysuckle berries looking like jewels.

Euphorbia Burrows Silver. This had been completely hidden by galloping geraniums.

These nemesia have been wonderful too this year and vanilla scented.

Small geranium, blushing turtle.

Cercis Lavender Twist, not had any flowers from this yet, been in two years, probably lack of sun.

It’s so hard to believe that the year is drawing to a close already, oh well, I suppose the nearer we get to the end of the year … the closer we get to the spring:o)

This is a variegated trachelospermum. it’s in a pot and over wintered well, but so far no flowers, hoping there will be some next year:o)

That was the end, but I’ve added these pics. This is Euphorbia Burrows Silver as is the euphorbia above. Had to put its name for Bloomer:o)

Just showing a bit of colour, this alstroemaria just appeared here. It’s a bit too far forward so need to move it, but it’s so lovely so hope I don’t lose it.

Was just about to go up to bed but so glad I found this first. Everything looks so beautiful in the late autumn sunshine which seems to give everything a gentle touch somehow. Hope you are feeling better, a day like this helps doesn't it?

What a lovely display of colour,Ba..love that Sisyrinchium..and what is the variegated plant beneath the Honeysuckle berries ? .I really like your grass now it has turned a buff colour..I think they look great in winter..
hope your back is improving..:o)

still some nice colour BA, sorry about your back and hope its better soon, Baz having physio at the moment with his ongoing problem in lower back, and my nerve problem which seems to hurt in higher buttock area, think a trapped nerve i had a few years ago and now always seem to have probs with it.
isnt it just great getting older haha,
take care x

Sorry to hear about your back probs BA - I hope it eases soon so you can get out and do a wee bit.
That euphorbia is very similar to Silver Swan. Your heleniums are still looking great. Thanks for putting a name to that Sysirichium - a neighbour has a stunning display in her garden and I was going to knock on her door tomorrow to ask what they were.
Beautiful garden - thanks for sharing :))

What a lovely blog Ba! Oh your garden does look a treat in the Autumnal sunshine. You have some beautiful plants still flowering there..
So sorry to hear about your back..Having back problems myself, I can certainly empathise. Hope it eases asap my friend..\0/x

Sorry to hear about your back problems BA hope it clears up soon, you have some lovely plants in your garden I love the Sysyrinchium, I had one last year but it didnt come through the winter! and the Euphorbia Silver Burrows is really special too [it is similar to Silver Swan , this also was lost last year;0( and I love the Heuchera Redstone Falls its name sounds as if its out of a Cowboy film!

Hi BA, sorry to hear about the back problems, can understand your frustration not being able to get out in the garden especially when we get the odd days of sunshine. Your garden is looking as good as ever, love that Euphorbia – another one to add to my wish list.

Ooooh thanks all for your kind comments, I'm going for xray on the 19th, such fun:-) Another lovely day here and yesterday I bought two trays of 20 pansies from Morrisons, think called strawberry cream, lovely colours sort of maroony and cream. They fitted nicely into a bag each and then I had to catch the bus home as I was frightened to carry anything else lol. A gardener's got to get her priorities right. Hope I can plant them out soon. Maybe if I'm very careful ......:-))
